And it's a WIN!

All of those pretty things you saw in my previous post (and more, oh, many more!) arrived on my doorstep a week or so ago from Crate Paper... I won a comp and they sent me a huge box way more full of stuff than I would ever expect!

I was thrilled because it's very rare that I win anything... and because I love Crate's designs.

I'm still thrilled because 1) I'm seeing now, 3 projects in, just how far this freebie's gonna go and 2) I'm designing projects with a lot more freedom, knowing that there is no guilt from spending and no hoarding feeling hanging over me. That second one is a side effect I wouldn't have guessed at.

Congratulations on the win, wow what a lot of stuff, I love Crate paper too! though I wouldn't mind a win from Tiffany's though!! I have won a few scrapbooking prizes but it has never been anything I wanted and have ended up giving most of it away.

... and handmade too!

A hundred years ago a crinoline lady was born, and she embroidered, knitted, sewed and crocheted until her eyes gave out at 95. A small girl would watch her grandmother, wide-eyed with fascination, as flowers sprang up on tablecloths and the edges of cushions frilled out in lace. That little girl was my mum, and now it's my turn to remember her beautiful creations from my childhood, and to chart my own crafting journey.
